Our take
User interfaces form the backbone of how we interact with technology on a day-to-day basis, and it is imperative that these UI experiences are seamless and aesthetically interesting. Whilst this used to be a simple matter of graphic design, the ever-growing array of device formats and increased demand for cutting-edge experiences make it difficult for businesses to rapidly develop excellent UI experiences with industry tools such as React alone. MUI provides a comprehensive suite of UI tools for React, allowing users to leverage low-code APIs and components to rapidly develop flexible and customizable UI features. The MUI library includes foundational components for basic shipping features, advanced components for bespoke use cases, and professionally designed templates and design kits for improved graphic design speeds. Whilst the company is certainly not the first to develop augmented tools for React UI development, Mui has been smart to not only cover one area, such as graphic design or foundations, but everything from simple UIs to complex and bespoke interactive experiences. Through its suite of React components and libraries, the company aims to make it faster and simpler for businesses to deploy cutting-edge UIs, regardless of what device their audience is using.
You'll be working on
- Without a dedicated business operations leader, executive bandwidth gets tied up in day-to-day tasks rather than high-leverage decisions, critical cross-functional projects stall between departments, etc
- We are hiring a Director of Business Operations to offload executive operations from the CEO and build the machinery required for our products to reach their full potential
- In this role, you will take on critical initiatives, ensure that cross-functional friction is resolved, and enforce a high bar of execution across the entire business
- Overall, both our open-source community and our premium products are growing fast. We need talented people to keep up with the demands of our exigent community!
- You will operate at the intersection of business, revenue, system design (for example, AI), strategy, and organization design
- You won’t manage processes—you will lead a team that builds scalable foundations, untangles complex cross-functional friction (across Finance, Marketing, Product, Sales, People, Finance, and Engineering), and incubates new capabilities (like RevOps or internal tooling migrations) from 0 to 1
- We care deeply about precision, excellence, and deep focus on the inputs (not the outputs): “How you do anything is how you do everything.”
- Our products empower React developers to build awesome applications faster – we see millions of developers on MUI’s docs every year, one million a month
- Track performance & resolve bottlenecks: Monitor company KPIs, detect operational risks early, and deploy targeted interventions to solve root causes across departments
- Lead operational scaling & systems design: Build, optimize, and automate scalable workflows, OKR cadences, and operating systems. Manage the Operations Engineer and temporarily own critical functions like interim RevOps
- Lead people: Manage a team of operational contributors (including an operations engineer, people partner, operations manager), unblocking their daily work and setting clear execution standards
- Drive special projects (0-to-1): Lead high-priority strategic experiments, expansions, or internal turnarounds from inception through execution to smooth handoff
- Break down cross-functional silos: Facilitate seamless collaboration across Product, Sales, Engineering, and Finance to eliminate friction and increase decision-making velocity
- Act as an executive proxy & advisor: Partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to offload executive initiatives, align company scorecards, and run core operating forums
- Overall, expect the role to be 60% execution, 40% team management
Benefits
- 100% remote work: Our entire company is globally distributed.
- Time off: We provide 33 days of paid time off globally.
- Retreats: We meet up every 8+ months for a week of working & having fun together.
- Equipment: We let you choose the hardware of your choice (within a given budget).
We're looking for
- If you love first-principles problem-solving, data, obsessing over operational details, and building living systems that save organization-wide time at scale, this role offers large autonomy and high strategic leverage
- High-agency & cross-functional judgment: Self-directed problem solver who thrives in ambiguity and can prioritize among many opportunities. See Manager of one
- First-principles analytical rigor: Proven track record of breaking down complex, ambiguous operational problems into root causes rather than treating superficial symptoms
- Strategic execution & ownership: Demonstrated success leading cross-functional strategic projects from scratch to a stable handoff, or taking on interim functional lead roles
- Hands-on data literacy & systems design: Strong experience designing metrics, operating cadences (OKRs, WBRs/QBRs), and working alongside data/analytics engineers or tool stacks to establish single sources of truth
- Executive presence & business acumen: Sound financial judgment, strong understanding of unit economics/gross margins, and the communication skills required to align senior leaders without direct line authority
- Relentless drive for excellence: Follow the Boy Scout philosophy. You naturally leave every document, system, or workflow in better shape than you found it, proactively paying down operational debt
- High conscientiousness & detail rigor: Strong commitment to eventually reach no-defect execution; double-checks everything, maintains clean documentation, focuses on friction-free user experiences
- Don’t meet every requirement? Apply anyway! Research shows that certain folks are less likely to apply for a role than others unless they meet 100% of the outlined qualifications
- Former founder, Chief of Staff, or operations lead experience at a scaling startup (40–100 employees)
- Hands-on experience with modern analytics stacks (for example, SQL, Python)
- Prior experience in a developer tools or open-core business
